Tell us what you want to see from this baseball team...

[Activated Alpha]

I would like to see these guys start mashing the ball and score more runs. We have been less than stellar batting against a far inferior opponent

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

We are not going to get left out if anything. Such a bad take. We are an original member of the SEC. Just because we will likely become the modern Vanderbilt in football just means other teams will get their W in the Fall while we gets ours in the Spring

No foresight at all. There won't be a SEC or Big Ten in 5 years. Just one league called something else. Being a founding member of the SEC won't matter at all at that point. We better get respectable in football in a hurry or the good folks of La Tech and South Alabama are gonna really enjoy our baseball facility for conference series.

[BrunswickDawg]

Lemonis broke SEC records for consecutive losses man

WTF? No he didn't. Just making shit up shows exactly what I am talking about.
Vanderbilt lost 30 consecutive games from '61-'63.
Kentucky lost 24 straight in the 50s.
Hell, just last season Missouri lost 21 straight.

Yes, 18 straight across 22-23 sucked. And Lemonis got fired. We may have given him a year too many - but it's hard to justify firing a coach who won a Natty without giving him a chance to correct things. Either way, when the time came, our folks stepped up and we got a top line coach

When we end up firing Lebby, we will fight for an OC who is flavor of the month, rinse and repeat. Maybe we can try to find someone with ties to The Bear like used to.

Why do you post random bullshit? Cohen went 6-24 one season

We wont get left out of anything. All Big 3 sports will be taken into account if anything new happens. All this worrying crap is just that

Candy has been dogshit for 50 years in football and suddenly they will be chosen ahead of us???? Get out of here with that nonsense

[Coach34]

The new football league you guys keep clutching your pearls over if it happens doesnt want to be a league of Titans. They dont want to have a Natty type game every week or teams will get beat to shit and back. They have to have some easy games here and there in the schedule. Nobody wants a league where the playoff teams are all 9-3 to 7-5 because its all Blue Bloods

Stop the pearl clutching and enjoy baseball season.

One of the big reasons we don’t succeed is because our fans like to stick their heads in the sand instead of understanding the future.

Exactly. There will be a realignment and football will be the sport with the overwhelming weight. The SEC will be comprised of the teams that don’t make it into the Super Leagues that are created. Yeah…we won’t be kicked out of the SEC but the SEC will be a glorified CUSA at that point.

No. Vandy won’t be in either. I would imagine it will only be the top 8 teams in the SEC that will move to the new league

[preachermatt83]

He also set records winning. I mean? that kinda proves brunswicks point I think.

[Tater]

If it's that little of a league (20 or less) then it's better longterm to not be in that group. They'll be NFL junior and lose their bargaining power when the NFL comes for Saturday slots.

You guys just totally miss that the only thing the NFL from eating up Saturdays is that College was given saturdays. Become another pro league and that's done. And the NFL knows that's money on the table.

Big 2 sports*. NO ONE CARES ABOUT BASEBALL.


It would be like Minnesota being sure that they would get in because of hockey (which generates twice the revenue of college baseball).

The SEC does. 9 of the top 10 teams in attendance are from the SEC. Since 2017, the CWS champ has been from the SEC every year except 1 in 2018.

So yes, it factors into the SEC's decisions.

[Quaoarsking]

And for the record, hockey factors in to Big 10 decisions too. They care about it like we care about baseball.

It would be good for college baseball for the Big 10 to make the decision to become the 2nd best conference rather than the 4th or 5th best like they are now. Michigan, Nebraska, and the West Coast additions are taking it seriously, but baseball needs Ohio State to start caring.

It wasn’t that long ago they and more of the big 10 did, right now it’s Michigan and the west coast teams that do. But baseball is a sunshine sport.

That's always the excuse that people make for why the Big Ten isn't a great baseball conference, but it doesn't really work when 17 of 18 Big Ten teams play baseball, and the conference does put up enough funding/NIL to be the 4th best (or 5th best if you want to put the Sun Belt ahead of them) conference out of 30.

I'm not asking why Ohio State isn't regularly going to Omaha, I'm asking why their boosters allow them to be outside the top 200 baseball programs in the country when they don't tolerate that in any other sport, including softball (which starts earlier in February). Just because it's cold in the early part of the season doesn't mean you can't attract good talent and have competitive teams if you're able and willing to fund them.

34 is right MSU will be around after you and I are gone. Some people are just dumbasses, and they can't help it It's all in the DNA!

[Todd4State]

As far as college baseball goes schools like Hawaii, USM, and Coastal Carolina are having really good crowds. People care.

And let's not pretend that Purdue, Stanford, and UCLA are selling our football every game. So why does college baseball have to have everyone care about it at every school for it to be important?

The Big 10 has never committed to baseball. It's their fault. No different than Mizzou in the SEC if you think about it.

State will be here. And they will still be in the SEC I’m sure. What the SEC looks like at that point is the question but I doubt the SEC will include Bama, LSU, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, or Ole Miss at that point
